This vase adopts hexagonal Yuhuchun shape, with flared floral rim, slender neck, expanding pear-shaped body and hexagonal foot, presenting elegant and graceful silhouette. The whole vessel is covered with mellow red glaze full of fine crackles, featuring primitive and deep tone scattered with tiny dark speckles. The hexagonal base reveals pale yellow unglazed rim, with the inscribed character "Chai" in the centre. The hexagonal structure distinguishes it from ordinary circular wares. Red glaze symbolises auspiciousness and prosperity. As an elegant scholar’s display vase for flower arrangement, it bears profound antique charm and collecting appeal.
